Thanks, Front will be stretched compared to a 1.1, back will be short. No bed just shock towers.

Mt.Dew · 04-15-2017, 07:17 PM

OK, some shock mounts and we have a roller.
The rear will have panels with holes filling them.
Also added a couple more bars to the roof.

Brazed in the rear panels got the stinger on the front,

Time to start some styrene work.

Heating the styrene to curve the sides of the hood distorted it a little.
Was going to smooth it out with Bondo, but I kind of like it.
Mite help with the RatRod look I'm going for.

Mt.Dew · 04-28-2017, 02:18 PM

A little update.

Trucks looking good, love the custom builds. Not sure how I missed this one. I will definitely be watching for updates.
